Utz Brands, Inc., a prominent U.S. manufacturer of branded salty snacks, operates in the consumer staples sector, known for its diverse portfolio of savory snack brands and a strong family heritage. In its latest earnings report for the second quarter of 2025, Utz Brands announced a 2.9% increase in net sales to $366.7 million, with notable growth in its branded salty snacks segment. Despite this sales growth, the company experienced a significant decline in net income by 60.2% to $10.1 million, and adjusted EBITDA decreased by 2.0% to $48.7 million, primarily due to higher selling, distribution, and administrative expenses.
Key financial metrics revealed a mixed performance, with the company’s gross profit margin declining by 40 basis points, while the adjusted gross profit margin expanded by 220 basis points, driven by productivity savings. The company also reported a decrease in adjusted earnings per share by 10.5% to $0.17. Utz Brands is advancing its supply chain transformation, including the closure of its Grand Rapids manufacturing facility, to optimize operations and support geographic expansion.
Looking ahead, Utz Brands has raised its 2025 organic net sales growth outlook to 2.5% or better, reflecting strong revenue trends and confidence in growth drivers. The company is also tightening its adjusted EBITDA growth range to 7% to 10%, although it has lowered its adjusted earnings per share guidance due to higher interest and depreciation linked to capital expenditures. Management remains optimistic about sustained adjusted EBITDA margin expansion and continued geographic growth in 2026 and beyond, emphasizing strategic investments in manufacturing and automation capabilities.
